Golden Angels Shannon & Jeff McKenzie

Shannon and Jeff and their children, Saige and Masen, are wonderful additions to GR’s volunteer family. They are fantastic fosters and in their two short years with GR have already fostered eight Goldens. They first heard of GR when out hiking with their Golden Sadie when they encountered a couple with six Goldens. They were GR fosters and expressed to Shannon and Jeff how fulfilling it was to foster. They came home and immediately went to the GR website…and the rest is history.…

Golden Angels Mike & Terri Newey

Mike and Terri had dogs long before they had children. Total dog lovers, this couple have had many breeds including their beloved Nova Scotia Duck Toller Retrievers. After Mike retired from GM, they started their own business ~ Kalmegess Kennels, which started with boarding and expanded into grooming, day care, and training. In 2010, they helped Golden Rescue considerably when we acquired multiple Goldens who were in bad shape. Mike and Terri took three under their wing…two intact males and a pregnant female.…

Golden Angels Jude Heather

Jude lost her nine-year-old Golden and six months later their 14-year-old crossed the Rainbow Bridge. This was devastating and their house was no longer a home. One day not too long after, a Golden Rescue email found its way into her inbox with a picture of two seniors looking for a forever family. Jude filled in an application but by then the two seniors had been adopted. They, however, found Murphy #1413 ~ a beautiful 11-year-old girl and the love affair began.…

One day some years ago, friends visited Nancy’s cottage and brought their Golden. Nancy had not grown up with dogs but instantly fell in love with her beautiful Golden visitor. After this visit and before they knew anything about rescue groups, Nancy and her husband, Mark, got their first Golden puppy Mia. Mia brought so much joy into their lives that they soon were looking for a companion for their new family member.…

Susanne’s foster Goldens have quickly become part of her family as they immediately sense her compassion. She has worked tirelessly to create loving transitional homes for all her charges and has even been able to find forever homes for some of them.…
